Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample)

If you have been searching for a concealable .45 ACP that does not compromise on grip or accuracy, the Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is a serious contender. This model takes the proven XDS platform and extends the barrel to 4.0 inches, giving you a longer sight radius and slightly increased velocity without turning the gun into a full-size brick. As a manufacturer sample, this pistol represents a factory-direct build with the same quality control and materials you would expect from Springfield Armory, often at a more accessible price point. It is a straightforward, no-nonsense defensive pistol built for shooters who want power in a slim package.

Overview

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) bridges the gap between subcompact carry guns and service-size handguns. The 4.0-inch barrel provides better ballistic performance than shorter models while the single-stack magazine keeps the grip thin enough for comfortable concealed carry. The black finish is consistent across the slide and frame, giving it a professional, low-profile look. This is a striker-fired pistol with a crisp trigger and a loaded chamber indicator, making it ready for immediate use right out of the box.

Features & Specs

This pistol is built around the reliable XDS action, known for its consistent trigger pull and quick reset. The extended barrel and full-length guide rod reduce muzzle flip, allowing for faster follow-up shots with the .45 ACP round. The grip texture is aggressive without being abrasive, ensuring a secure hold even with sweaty hands. Below are the key specifications and standout features of the Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black.

• Caliber: .45 ACP with a 4.0-inch hammer-forged barrel and a 1:16 twist rate for reliable stabilization of standard defensive ammunition.
• Capacity: 5+1 rounds with the flush-fit magazine; includes an extended grip magazine for a 6+1 capacity and improved hand fit.
• Sights: Low-profile, snag-resistant front and rear sights with a dovetail mount. The rear sight is drift-adjustable for windage.

Additional details include a forged, stainless steel slide with a durable black Melonite finish that resists corrosion and wear. The frame is a high-trigger polymer with an integral locking system and a textured grip zone. Overall length is 7.0 inches with a height of 4.75 inches, and the unloaded weight is approximately 22 ounces.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is designed for the concealed carrier who prefers the terminal performance of .45 ACP. It is ideal for anyone who finds double-stack pistols too thick for comfortable appendix or IWB carry. The 4.0-inch barrel length makes it a strong choice for those who want a compact pistol that still shoots like a larger gun. This model is also well-suited for shooters who appreciate the simplicity of a single-stack magazine and want a reliable backup or primary home defense firearm that can also ride in a holster all day.

• Individuals looking for a reliable .45 ACP carry pistol with an extended sight radius for improved accuracy.
• Shooters who value a slim, concealable profile without sacrificing magazine capacity for the caliber.
• Owners who want a factory sample model that offers the same Springfield Armory reliability at a reduced price point.
